RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-79(3) with Minou Djavaherian, MFT, a self-employed individual, effective December 1, 2014, to amend Contract #74-341-79(1) [as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-79(2)], to increase the payment limit by $55,000, from $60,000 to a new payment limit of $115,000, with no change in the original term of November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% State General Fund. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

In November 2013, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manger executed, Contract #74-341-79(1) [as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-79(2)] with Minou Djavaherian, MFT for the provision of Medi-Cal specialty mental health services, for the period from November 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. However, the utilization during the term of the agreement was higher than originally anticipated. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-341-79(3) will allow the Contractor to provide additional services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be able to provide additional mental health services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries resulting in a lower level of services to the community.
